If that's the case then it's probably a swapping issue or something
else on Win98.  I have 128 MB ram and 550 MHZ Pentium III and
it crawls pretty badly, probably due to the smaller memory pool.

Perhaps just replacing the scrolling list of files with a progress bar
would be better, then putting up a clean dialog to get the user
input near the end of the install.  So far I haven't noticed any
other anomalies.
